Cambrian Coast Lines

The lines on, and leading to, the Cambrian Coast were visited often during family holidays in the 1950s and 1960s and became firm favourites. I didn't have a camera during the early visits but managed quite a few shots in the last years of steam and as the DMUs took over. I have been fortunate enough to find various original slides to add to my collection to fill in some of the early gaps of trains I recall but did not photograph myself. There are also more recent shots from the steam specials that have run over the line over the past few years. Many more shots to add as time permits - as usual!
